Mark, I hope you bought that keyboard since I'm pretty sure Phantom won't let you return it after its made physical contact with your underwear...

It's Like George Costanza taking the book into the bathroom then trying to return it. They know. Somehow they always know...

Don't southpaws use mouse/keyboard the same way as right-handers?

@ripfire: As a self-designated representative of southpaws everywhere, we are quite suited to using mouse/keyboard with the mouse on the right side of the keyboard because schools, workplaces, and everywhere else have them set up that way. However, for me personally, when I use a mouse at home i have it to the left of my keyboard.

@whatne1wuddo: So do you switch the button configuration also (ie, left-click to right-click, vice-versa)

That last pic is more NSFW than most of the NSFW stuff on here.

Holy crap, they actually made one! I wondered how bad that tilt would be, sounds like it's as awkward as I expected. Perhaps it would work better to have it rotated so you put the platter in your lap sideways with the keyboard sloping up and away from you, so you're reaching around for the mouse. This means mousing blindly, but I can't think of anyone that needs to see what button they're using on a mouse.

@Moeyyy: Someone was really looking at these pictures, eh? Besides, pants are over-rated. There's nothing like an unfurnished basement for pure comfort.

@Moeyyy: To me, that's proper testing...as I think that's how the majority of us would use the product.

So I say good job to a complete review.

I'd be more impressed if it were the Phantom Game Console.

@OMG! Ponies!: They can't add that. It doesn't have a trackball. Hmm. Speaking of wireless keyboards with a trackball...

Wow, an actual product from Phantom. This is surely a moment to behold.

@ripfire: Wasn't the whole point of the company being named Phantom, was that they wouldn't produce products that would ever see the light of day?

@Lite: has a Six Demon Bag: Since that spot has been taken by Yanko, they must have decided to move into actual physical products.
